Closing and Opening

This afternoon I will be going to a closing for my parent's house. They have lived there for 57 years and have decided to sell the house. There is a small twist to this story. The house is being sold, but they are not moving out. They will remain living there "forever". Their next door neighbor purchased the house with the stipulation that my parents would not move. He has no idea of the blessing he has given my family. When my parents go back to Florida in a few weeks, the new owner will put in new windows, central air and heat, paint and carpet for them. He will also move the washer and dryer upstairs, from the lower level, so my parents will no longer have to climb stairs. He will design a new backyard in paver blocks and plant trees. In May, they will return to a newly decorated home. No one believes this when I tell them. I now refer to the new owner as my "baby brother" as he is treating my parents as his own.
